CHAPTER 16


    Chapter 16 Eating Fondue Base


    Hayden delivered on his promise and used the cue Violeta chose for him. The guys yed a


    billiards game for four Violeta did not join them but watched from the side.


    “Let’s have a penalty for losers Vio, you decide.”


    Violeta sat on the couch and was ready to log in to the Tnd University forum on her phone. She


    considered momentarily before saying. The losing side will treat the winners to dinner.”


    Zoren replied, “That’s too simple.


    Violeta asked curiously, “What kind of penalty did you have before?


    “We used to do something more extreme, like eating ten lemons in a row.”


    Violeta was stunned.


    Did they eat ten lemons in a row? That’s insane!


    “In that case, the losers will treat us to dinner this evening. And no matter what food the winners


    choose, the losers have to eat it with a smile.


    “Wow, Vio, your punishment is harsher than we used to have.”


    “Hahaha..


    “All right, we’ll go with this. Let’s start!”


    The guys started ying billiards.


    Violeta logged into the university forum and took a look around. Even before entering, she could


    imagine what the forum would look like


    Sure enough, the first two pages were all about her. There were photos of her entering the campus


    with Hayden in the morning, pictures of her having lunch with the four guys, photos of her from the


    freshman orientation, and even a post about Zelena’s embarrassing moment when her dress ripped


    in the auditorium.


    Thest post piqued Violeta’s interest, and she tapped to read more about it. Someone happened


    to take photos of Zelena’s embarrassing moment and posted it in the thread. If Zelena saw these


    photos, she would be funous


    Violeta had experienced such humiliation in her previous life. Now, it was Zelena’s turn to


    experience the same. She wondered how Zelena would react when she saw the pictures. It must


    be quite a spectacr sight.


    After logging out of the forum, Violeta entered the dark web. There, she issued a simple challenge:


    anyone who could breach her firewall and ess the confidential files on herputer would


    receive a reward of one hundred thousand, with a deadline set for the twentieth of next month.


    There was a hacker leaderboned


    on the leaderboard, Red Hat. Red Hat wouldter be one of Zelena’s allies.


    In her previous life, Violeta had just started her career and achieved some sess when she


    became the target of online harassment. Many of her private matters were exposed, and she had to


    spend money to resolve the issue. Later, she discovered that it had all been leaked by a hacker


    named Red Hat. Furthermore, Zelena had provided all the information to Red Hat


    Although these things would not happen until four yearster, Violeta had to n ahead. She


    looked through the list of those who epted the challenge and found Red Hat them.


    Violeta reclined against the couch and smirked. The target took the bait! It won’t be easy to break


    through my firewall!


    In her previous life, Violeta suffered a significant setback in information technology and spent time


    studying diligently. She had to thank Zelena’s fans for her rapid progress, Whenever they came to


    insult her, she used them as practice targets.


    She started by tracing IP addresses before gradually learning to pinpoint specific locations


    Eventually, she became skilled enough to hack into the opponent’s devices and turn on their


    cameras to see their faces.


    These keyboard warriors were always hiding in the shadows. Violeta had reported many of them to


    the police when she caught them attacking her for no reason, Strangely, once caught, they all


    imed to be innocent.


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Anger surged within Violeta as she thought about this.


    Meanwhile, Zelena furiously med her housekeeper for her humiliation during orientation.


    ‘This dress is defective! Why did you let me wear it without checking properly? Are you trying to ruin


    me?”


    The housekeeper appeared confused. “Ms. ke, I don’t know what happened. I checked the dress


    thoroughly when I got it from the boutique. Furthermore, the salesperson also checked it. How could


    there be loose threads? I really don’t know how it happened,


    Zelena red at the housekeeper, not believing a word she said. Then, she took out her phone and


    checked the forum. Her face twisted with rage as she saw the photos from the freshman


    orientation.


    Suddenly, she recalled something unusual when she searched Violeta’s body earlier. Her


    expression froze. She hurriedly checked the torn dress.


    As suspected, the stitching was cut with a de!


    It was that despicable Violeta! She’s behind this!


    Zelena clenched her fist tightly. She wished she could find Violeta now and tear her apart. At the


    same time, she realized something was off.


    13.00


    That b*tch wasn’t this cunning in the previous life! Could the have changed after starting a new life?


    Regardless, I won’t let her trample over me in this life!


    From Zelena’s perspective, Violeta was the fake heiress of the ke family, who took everything


    from her in her past life. Furthermore, she even tended to be nice when Zelena returned home, but


    it was all a malicious act. To Zelena, Violeta was a hypocrite, using kindness as a fa?ade to hide her


    lowly status.


    Zelena grew up in a non–affluent family. When she retumed to the ke family, she knew nothing


    about social etiquette. If Violeta had not guided her in everything, Zelena could not imagine how


    many embarrassing situations she would have gotten herself into. Yet, in Zelena’s twisted mind, she


    saw Violeta’s kindness as her showing off


    Jealousy twisted Zelena’s heart. And no matter how hard she tried in her previous life, she could


    never catch up to Violeta.


    Violeta liked Nn, and Zelena liked him too. But she did not expect Nn to only like Violeta.


    How could he choose her over me? She’s only a fake heiress!


    From then on, Zelena hated Violeta even more. She swore to take revenge, and fate smiled upon


    her, granting her a second chance.


    I will take my revenge in this life! That despicable Violeta shall be my ve, and I will trample her


    under my feet!


    Unbeknownst to Zelena, she had seeded in Violeta’s previous life. She took advantage of


    Violeta’s kindness and acted against her. This time, Violeta would never make the same mistake


    again.


    The wheel of fate had begun to turn again in this life, and the oue remained uncertain.


    Three hourster, the oue in the billiard room had been decided.


    Jasper and Hayden emerged victorious, while Zoren and Liam suffered defeat.


    Jasper burst intoughter and eximed, “Liam, prepare yourself! You made me eat ten lemonsst


    time, and now it’s time for you to pay it all back! Let’s have spicy fondue tonight. I’ll make you eat


    the fondue base!”


    Zoren responded, “D*mn! Don’t be too hard on me.”


    “I don’t care. Thanks to you, I had to suffer the sour taste in my mouth for three days. Everything I


    ate tasted sour.”


    Liam quickly interjected, “Jas, he tricked youst time. Don’t involve me in this. I’m innocent. I don’t


    want to eat the fondue base…”
